00:00Good afternoon. Well, it has been another slow start in places with low cloud that's coming

00:05from the North Sea and slowly breaking up. So this is the latest satellite at time of

00:11recording and you can see all this low cloud drifting from into the North Sea and further

00:16inland. So Huggin Coast, northeastern England into East Anglia and the far south and east

00:22out towards the west. That's where we've got plenty of sunshine through this morning.

00:27Now, as we go into the afternoon, that low cloud will eventually lift and break. It

00:31could be a bit stubborn to clear in places for the likes of the east of the Midlands and

00:36towards the far southeast before retreating back to the coast across eastern parts. Elsewhere,

00:43further out towards the west, plenty of lengthy sunny spells, but you'll just notice a few

00:48showers bubbling up across the southern parts of Scotland. Otherwise, it's still going to

00:54be feeling warm in that sunshine out towards the west, highs of 23, possibly 24 degrees.

01:00But again, where we've got this north and northeasterly wind coming down from the cool North

01:06Sea, it's always going to be feeling chilliest across the eastern coasts. So as we go through

01:13Sunday evening, those showers that I mentioned across the southern parts of Scotland will drift

01:18their way further southwards, affecting parts of Wales as we go overnight. Out towards the west,

01:24that's where we hold on to the lengthiest, clear skies. May even have some mist and fog patches

01:29towards Devon and Cornwall on Monday morning. But otherwise, as the land cools, we'll see further

01:35spells of low cloud moving in. It's going to be thick enough in places for some patchy drizzle too.

01:41Otherwise, temperatures generally holding up underneath the blanket of cloud might turn a little bit chilly

01:46in rural spots further out towards the west. So that leaves a pretty messy picture to start

01:53Monday morning. There'll be some showers first thing across parts of Wales and northern areas

01:58too. But otherwise, across northern Ireland, southern parts of Scotland, northern England,

02:02we'll have more in the way of cloud and some showers developing as we go into the afternoon.

02:08Again, still some low cloud hugging some coastal areas in the east. Best of the sunshine now coming

02:14in towards the far south east of England. And here, that's where we'll see the highest temperatures

02:20on Monday, 21, possibly 22 degrees. But out towards the west, temperatures just a touchdown

02:27on recent days, given that we have more in the way of cloud and those showers breaking out.

02:33So as we go through Monday evening, again, we'll see the swirl of showers. Some of these still could be

02:39on the heavy side, perhaps even with the odd rumble of thunder. But they generally ease as they move

02:43into Northern Ireland. Then we see the return of some low cloud across North Sea coast, but elsewhere

02:50generally staying dry. Now, as we go into Tuesday and Wednesday, there is the chance of further showers

02:56that could be heavy and thundery. Thursday, generally drier, but a little bit cooler. Make sure to hit

03:01subscribe so you don't miss any updates on any of that. And I'll see you very soon. Bye bye.
